The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

next morning.

courtyard.

Pavilion.

The young man in white, sitting on a chair, facing the east, breathes and breathes quietly, warms and nourishes the true qi, activates the qi and blood.

The excess zhenqi overflowing from the dantian rises to the atrium again, gathers into one qi, and condenses into a Hunyuan Yiqi sword.

On his shoulder, a light-colored cloud snake is also facing east, its eyes flickering.

The rising sun in the east reflected on the man and the snake, giving off a faint luster.

The morning sun rises, the sun rises.

This is the scene for those who practice, eat the clouds and drink the dew, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.

call……

Zhuang Ming let out a breath of foul air, opened his eyes, and looked radiant.

Thanks to the cultivation of this breath of true energy, he can maintain a perfect spirit all the time, and be able to think carefully about all kinds of things.

If he hadn't cultivated this breath of true qi, maybe these years, his sick body and mind have been overworked, prematurely aging, and he can't make decisions so clearly.

My lord, breakfast is ready.

Bai Lao please have a meal together.

Okay, son.

Shuang Ling hurriedly responded, and trotted towards Bai Lao's residence.

Zhuang Ming put the young dragon into his sleeve, pondering for a while.

This time, the matter of the Huaibei dark village is imperative.

Even if there is no Baishen Pot, he will do it for the Jade God Flower.

But now that there is a Baishen pot, there is no need to say too much, and it must not be abandoned.

——

Young master.

Silver is ready?

The Jade God Flower is priced at a thousand taels, but to avoid any accidents, the old slave asked the accountant to raise funds. Currently, he has prepared 60,000 taels.

Not enough. Zhuang Ming replied.

Ah? Bai Lao was stunned.

Prepare one hundred thousand taels first, Zhuang Ming said.

My lord, is this...too much? Bai Lao hesitated and said, In recent years, Zhuang's Commercial Bank has been expanding and growing, establishing shops everywhere, recruiting manpower, operating businesses, exchanging goods, and investing countless silver taels. There are not many idle silver taels to be used.

When buying the Jade God Flower, avoid accidents and prepare more silver taels to be prepared. Zhuang Ming said slowly, For me, if this flower can really cure my disabled legs, let alone one hundred thousand taels, it will be a waste of money. What's the problem with a million? What's more, what I want is not only the Jade God Flower.

Young master, have you taken a fancy to other treasures?

discuss later.

Zhuang Ming nodded and beckoned, Sit down and eat.

Bai Lao did not shirk, and sat down on the table.

Shuang Ling also smiled and sat beside Zhuang Ming.

The Dongsheng Dynasty paid attention to the order of respect and inferiority.

It's just that Zhuang Ming was originally from Fangwai, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Especially for Bai Lao and Shuang Ling, they didn't do too many strange things.

Shuang Ling was rescued by him, and as a personal maid, she has always been close to her.

As for Bai Lao, who lost his son in middle age, he is now alone, with no descendants, no descendants to take care of, no worries, no cares, and working in Zhuang's firm for these years, he has already regarded it as his own.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Bailao has no heirs, no worries, and less of a path of favoritism than ordinary people, which is one of the reasons why Zhuang Ming values ​​him.

The Song family in Xuancheng...

Zhuang Ming said: Let Steward Sun prepare Fengcheng's business and free up manpower earlier. When I come back after taking the Jade God Flower, I will meet Song Tianyuan for a while and restore the situation in Xuancheng.

Speaking of this, he said silently in his heart: The premise is that after this time, Song Tianyuan can still hold on.

——

The Song family in Xuancheng.

Steward Sun's letter was sent back to Xuancheng.

Song Tianyuan glanced at it, and immediately smiled.

Want to regain control of Xuancheng?

When you come back from Huaibei and wake up, the world will be turned upside down. Even if you are resourceful, under Song's hands, you will not be able to turn the tide.

What's more, whether you can come back from Huaibei alive depends on how smart you are and how much preparation you have made in advance.

He laughed, raised his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp, leaving nothing behind.

——

Zhuang Ming is here, already ready, and is about to leave for Huaibei Anzhuang.

This time when entering Anzhuang, only four people are allowed to accompany him.

Yin Ming, who accompanied him as a guard, Shuang Ling, a little maid who took care of his food and daily life, Bai Lao, who took care of his accounts, and a servant who carried luggage.

In addition to these four people, six other guards were selected to accompany them.

Including Zhuang Ming, there are only eleven people in this line, and Yin Ming is included, there are only seven guards, which is not too many.

However, with Yin Ming here, no one in the martial arts world can hurt Zhuang Ming.

Zhuang Ming considered that even if Yin Ming's abilities were invincible among the mortal martial arts, if something really happened and the opponents were numerous, no matter how strong Yin Ming was, he would be alone, and it would be difficult to protect them completely, so he brought more six guards.

My lord, you should be able to reach Anzhuang before the sun goes down.

On the carriage, Zhuang Ming sat inside.

Shuang Ling and Bai Lao are also in the car.

Yin Ming acted as the coachman.

And behind this carriage, there is an accompanying carriage, which is full of luggage, and the servant is driving the carriage.

As for the six guards, they were divided into left and right sides, with three people on each side, walking on foot.

Well, I see.

Zhuang Ming responded, he looked at the book in his hand, and put it down after a while.

After a pause, he looked at Shuang Ling and said with a smile: Girl, you are not familiar with this place, are you?

Shuang Ling nodded, and responded with a look full of curiosity.

Zhuang Ming pondered for a while, and said: The Anzhuang exists in a dark place, where the light cannot be seen. The businesses in it are varied and full of surprises. Some of them seem normal. There are money transactions, treasure exchanges, etc., but they tend to be dark and evil. Yes, there are buying murders, human trafficking and so on.”

Such a place is obviously not tolerated by the imperial court, but it still exists for many years. The background is extremely complicated. The backer behind it is very likely to be in a high position in the imperial court.

Besides, the Anzhuang is strictly ordered. When outsiders enter it, they are not allowed to do anything. Otherwise, some masters will intervene. At the least, they will be expelled and not allowed to enter the Anzhuang again. At worst, they will be killed on the spot to warn others.

So the inside is stable, and basically there will be no troubles, but outside, no one may obey the law.

Although most of the people who enter the Anzhuang are not ordinary people, either rich, powerful, or armed, but if the treasure is touching, it may attract the attention of some people, so they will rob and kill outside.

There's precedent for that, too.

but……

After a pause, Zhuang Ming said again: This kind of dark village does not only exist in the Dongsheng Dynasty. Looking around the world, including overseas places where Fu Lao went, there are similar forms of existence. Of course, Dongsheng Outside of the Sheng Dynasty, it may not be called Anzhuang, but generally speaking, there are always some mysterious places in these transactions that exist in dark areas.

Shuang Ling half understood, blinked and nodded.

Zhuang Ming patted her little head and said, Remember it well, it may be useful to you in the future.

Hearing this, Bai Lao was slightly surprised, and took a deep look at Shuang Ling.

Over the past few years, the son seems to have taught this little girl a lot.

For example, the matter of Anzhuang should not be something a little maid should learn.

By the way, according to Lu He's news, Song Tianyuan also set off for Anzhuang at noon yesterday. Zhuang Ming mused, According to the distance, Xuancheng is a little closer than us. Presumably Song Tianyuan has already entered the village. It's dark village.

The old slave has ordered someone to investigate to see what Song Tianyuan is asking for in Anzhuang. Bai Lao hesitated, and said, The old slave is afraid that he also knows the function of the Jade God Flower, so he went for the Jade God Flower.

It doesn't matter. Zhuang Ming said slowly: He just left for me, I would like to meet him for a while in the dark village.

Ask for collection! Ask for a recommendation ticket!
